The West Bank now? There aren’t any hostages there
Move along, no ethnic cleansing to see here…
Might Netanyahu finally be shamed into agreeing to a ceasefire ?
Einav Zangauker, whose 24-year-old son, Matan, is being held captive, accused Netanyahu of “murdering” the hostages still in Gaza. “He’s decided to sentence them to death. He’s decided to give them up. He’s decided to bury them in the rubble of his politics. He is committing a crime against his own people,”
He has no shame, as long as the world turns a blind eye
Yeah, agree with that. And I also firmly believe that this guy will only be removed out of office by force. This guy is obviously ready to walk on more corpses in order for him to stay in power.
Fify
Interesting that Biden has just said Netanyahu is not doing enough to help broker a deal.
His one-word answer when asked the question was emphatic.

So just another apartheid state like other rich Arab states
More explicit bigotry can be heard from other opinion leaders, such as a former chief rabbi of Israel, Ovadia Yosef, who once compared non-Jews to donkeys and preached, “Goyim [non-Jews] were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world — only to serve the people of Israel.”_
What justification could there possibly for opening fire on a peaceful protest?
Apparently the (most likely spurious) claim that somebody was throwing rocks thereby endangering Israeli soldiers. We already know the playbook ; An ‘investigation’ is opened alongside a denial that any civilian was deliberately targeted. An ever shifting list of possibilities is expounded and eventually exhausted over an extended period of time. Finally we get an announcement that it was an unfortunate accident , but mitigated by the fact that the soldiers feared for their lives. The investigation is closed and no individual is ever charged or held directly accountable.
- We killed a terrorist.
- Ok she wasn’t a terrorist but she was a threat.
- Ok she was no threat but was used as a human shield.
- Ok there was no human shield but it was an accident.
- We’re the most moral army in the world.
- Don’t you know what we have to face everyday (Insert Victim Card)
We only have billions of dollars of military equipment to deal with kids throwing stones
We needed to clear space to get our new military equipment
Sorry are we still talking about the Israeli army or US police?
No just a kid with a present…
Yes
Perhaps another sign of an expanding conflict. Coming ahead also of elections in Jordan where a close eye will be kept on the performance of the Islamist opposition to see whether popular protest against the war in Gaza translates to political gains for those who support violent opposition to Israel.
It just struck me that in a few days it will a year since the Genocide begun.
